Greetings everyone!
This is tour vlog Day 7 from our 3rd show in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. I had some downtime before soundcheck started and I go through Craig's fantastic drum kit in a little more detail. Showing what all drums, cymbals, heads, mics, electronics, and even my cheat sheets are. Then I put in a little snippet of video from soundcheck and some video from the show that was shot from my wife Tiffany's Iphone. The video quality from the gig is what it is. Shot from the audience and all of that. But what is cool is that the Oakville Center for the Performing Arts is a nice intimate venue. The lighting designer Chris Curran is fantastic. He made that stage look amazing! In the video are little bits of a couple of songs and most of my drum solo. I don't get the chance to do drum solos very often so it a big challenge for me. It is also a big challenge because the drum solo comes towards the very end of the gig! It's crazy but I am loving it. Also, this band is really awesome! If you've seen Steve and the boys play before then you already know that. In the video is a little section from Cinema Show ( sorry, I only had what me lovey wife gave me to work with ) and check out Jonas on the bass. The man kicks some serious ass! Everyone in the band does and I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am blessed to have this opportunity.
Going through the drums goes from the beginning of the video until 5:14 and the music parts from 5:15 to the end.
This evening (Dec 4, 2022) is our final show in Canada. Playing at the Grand Theater Du Quebec then it is down to the states for the rest of the run.
Cheers!
